The Hobart Bonnet 305GB-10 is a high speed commercial steamer designed for professional kitchens that need to produce large volumes of steamed food consistently and quickly throughout service. Unlike conventional steamers that rely on standard convection steam, this unit uses an accelerated steaming method that significantly reduces cooking times without compromising food quality or texture. It holds three full-size 1/1 GN pans simultaneously, making it a practical choice for operations cooking vegetables, fish, grains, and other steamed dishes at volume.

In busy kitchen environments, the ability to recover quickly between loads is what separates capable equipment from a bottleneck. The 305GB-10 is built to handle repeated back-to-back cycles during peak service periods, maintaining consistent output rather than tailing off as demand builds. The stainless steel construction is well suited to the rigours of a working kitchen — robust, straightforward to clean, and resistant to the thermal stresses that come with continuous use.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages include:

  • Significantly faster cooking cycles compared to conventional steamers, improving throughput during service
  • Consistent, repeatable results across all three rack positions
  • Stainless steel interior and exterior for straightforward cleaning and long-term durability
  • Reduced holding time requirements, helping maintain food quality on the pass
  • Suitable for a wide range of steamed products including vegetables, fish, pulses, and rice

Installation will require a suitable electrical supply to support the 27kW power draw — this is not a unit that can be connected to a standard socket, and a qualified electrician should be involved from the outset. The unit weighs 77kg, so access and positioning need to be considered during kitchen planning. Adequate ventilation around the unit should also be assessed. At 935mm high, 600mm wide, and 700mm deep, it requires a defined footprint in the kitchen layout.

The 305GB-10 is best suited to mid-to-large commercial operations — contract catering sites, hotel kitchens, staff restaurants, and busy à la carte kitchens where steaming forms a core part of the cooking process. If your service volumes are more modest, a smaller or lower-powered steamer may represent better value. Conversely, very high-volume operations or central production units may benefit from looking at larger-capacity alternatives within the range.

If you're weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen's layout, power supply, or service demands, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What electrical supply does the Hobart Bonnet 305GB-10 require?

The unit draws 27kW, which requires a dedicated hardwired electrical connection — a standard plug socket is not suitable. You will need a qualified electrician to assess your existing supply and install an appropriate circuit before the unit can be commissioned. It is worth confirming your kitchen's available capacity early in the planning process, particularly in older buildings where infrastructure upgrades may be needed.

Is this steamer suitable for a smaller restaurant kitchen?

The 305GB-10 is designed for kitchens where steaming forms a significant part of the cooking operation and where throughput demands justify its capacity. For smaller restaurants with more occasional steaming requirements, a lower-capacity model may be a more proportionate choice — both in terms of equipment cost and energy consumption. We'd recommend discussing your typical service volumes with us before deciding.

How does the high speed steaming process affect food quality?

The accelerated steaming method is designed to reduce cooking times while preserving texture, colour, and nutritional value — outcomes that matter in a professional kitchen where consistency is essential. In practice, operators report results comparable to conventional steaming but delivered in a fraction of the time, which is particularly valuable during high-pressure service periods. As with any steamer, cooking times will need to be calibrated to your specific products during initial setup.
